It is summer, it is hot and the hockey news is starting to slow down.

But I remain around, keeping you updated on the latest news from the hockey world.

Yes I may take off a day here and there in a few weeks, but when hockey news is made, I will be around to post it.

A little on KK:

About 3 1/2 months ago the KK Donation Drive went okay and I appreciate all the people who have donated.

Summer time is certainly a down time for ad revenue but I still need to keep the lights on here and any help via donation you can provide is greatly appreciated.

I prefer payment via PayPal (note account name is Shalen Franchini) and also have a GoFundMe account set up too.

Every dollar amount helps and if you do contribute at least $25, the majority of ads on KK will be removed for the next year.

update: this post will now fall in line and the sticky has been removed. Original post was on 7/3/15 at 10:25am.
